As a mentor, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, I would hope I have taught the younger generation to cleanup after themselves. I am a born and raised Missourian and was appalled to hear of the trash. I do not blame the venue, it was a learning experience for them with the type of activity we presented. I fault those who don't respect others to leave an area the same or better than when they found it. I always pick up trash I see and dispose of it. We also carry trash bags with us in the stands to pick up after ourselves to relieve the maintenance people of work. It is common courtesy to not leave a mess for someone else.
